Away...

We made the trek to Las Vegas this weekend for a fun family reunion with my mom's family! While we had a great time, here are a few moments that were memorable:

On the way down the DVD player went on the fritz. By Santaquin, it wasn't working at all...oh good, only 5 hours to go

When we arrived, our room wasn't ready - only an hour until we could check in - no biggie, what's another hour when you've been in the car since 11 that morning...

We had an enjoyable evening and decent sleep (as good as can be expected in a bed other than my own). :)

We were up at the crack of dawn (almost literally) when kids got up at 6:30 Utah time (5:30 local)...oh my...the pool didn't open until 9...

We got going and out the door to be to the park by 10:30 AM. On the way, we noticed low, black clouds over where we were headed...no worries...it doesn't rain in Vegas in June...

By 12:00, Lacee arrived (oops, my bad, poor directions), and we were all packing up to head to my Aunt's house...it started raining and was turning cold (relative term). Too cold to play, anyway.

We all made it to my aunt's. We finished our lunch, visited, enjoyed the cool weather, etc. The big kids played with and entertained the little kids (thanks!!!), and the (wait for it)...sun came out!! The big kids got in the pool. The little kids did too (although we forgot to our suits)...clothes and all!

After a great visit, we headed back to our condo (Thanks Aunt Mary!!) and all the kids had naps...YAY!

We enjoyed an evening of rain, swimming (br), pizza and TV.

We swam the next morning we swam again, grabbed some breakfast and were on our way by 11:15 (yes, we were all up by 5:30 local, so we had lots of time to pack and clean up).

Lacee lent us her iPod with fun videos for Luke and Lucy had a couple good naps...

Home by 4:30 and unpacked by 5. Dinner by 5:30, kids in bed by 8:30...it's good to be home.

I took my camera everywhere and didn't take a single picture...what a dud:/
